My whole family attends classes at 5 Dragons, and we enjoy it each week. Sensei, Deshi and the entire staff at 5 Dragons have been helpful in accommodating my kids needs, and we have all learned discipline and respect, while getting fit from the 5 Dragons' staff.

Best decision I made this month was signing up for kickboxing classes at 5 dragons. I was having difficulty finding fitness activities that I could get in shape with AND have fun. These classes aren't easy, but you have a great time and feel great too! Rick is a fantastic instructor and I'm so glad I found this place!

My family discovered 5 Dragons Martial Arts Academy Salisbury when we attended a Karate Birthday Party - we ran, did push-ups, broke boards and were completely won over by Sensei Rick and his staff.

Shortly afterwards we signed up our 4 year old and he has been in the program for almost three years, joined a few months ago by his older brother. 5 Dragons Martial Arts Academy supports my family's values. At school no explicit lessons are given on confidence, respect, focus....

My sons are now confident, respectful, good listeners and they are also great at breaking boards lol. They love attending 5 Dragons Kyokushin Karate class and practice at home often.

I have never been to another karate school, but from what I hear 5 Dragons Martial Arts Academy is different - the Life Skill Achievement Awards, Championship Level Instructors, and the teacher/student ratio (there are always at least 3 teachers per class), also make 5Dragons a special place.

We love the 5 Dragons family! This class teaches more than just martial arts. Students learn important life lessons such as leadership, respect, humility, peer mentoring, public speaking, sportsmanship, etc. My son is enrolled in the basic martial arts as well as the Extreme Martial Arts program which teaches a whole new level of techniques and "fancy stuff". Along with the competitions, the kids enjoy the huge trampoline track, belt promotions, beach picnics, holiday fun, Easter Egg hunt, summer camp and events that give back to the community. All classes teach focus and patience with fun and challenging games and lessons. We highly recommend it!

This is a wonderful school. Sensei Rick is an amazing instructor and he has created a gifted team of assistants. Many of their students and instructors hold titles in National Competition including World Champion, National Champion, New England Grand Champion, and State Champion. My son has been enrolled for eight years, starting with the Kids Karate program and continuing into the youth Marrial Arts program. My husband and I have both taken adult martial arts and Fitness Kickboxing. The instructors are talented, caring people, and the facilities are clean and bright.

The academy offers many classes and workshops to the community, and often non-members are encouraged to attend.

The summer camps are very well organized and offer long days and day camps during school breaks.

Enrolling at 5 Dragons Martial Arts Academy Salisbury finally stopped our revolving door of gym memberships. This studio is so much more than any gym could be - I encourage you to give it a try.

My 8 year old son has been training at 5 Dragons for 2 years. We have continued to be very impressed with the level of professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm of all the staff. They know how to motivate and teach really young children through adults. Classes are fun, challenging and engaging.

Their anti bullying training became very real to my son this summer when he was bullied physically and verbally at summer camp. He applied the lessons learned and was able to not only handle himself with maturity and poise, but to finally physically defend himself when he needed it most. We are eternally grateful to the 5 Dragons staff for their teaching and support during this difficult time.

The experience with 5 Dragons has been so positive that we recently enrolled our 4 year old who has had a lot of difficulty participating in other group activities. He absolutely loves his class and has a huge smile on his face each week.

Thank you 5 Dragons for all your care of the children in this community.

How can we help your teen?

Does Your Teenager Need Help Becoming Their Best Selves?

Instead of giving into the moodiness and attitude, take them to our martial arts school instead!

Teenagers are smart and capable – but they can also be their own worst enemies. Between peer pressure, their innate urge to rebel against their parents, and their surging hormones, they can be impossible to be around. But all they need is an outlet for their frustrations – and an opportunity to learn how to be their best.

Does your teen need

help in one of these areas?

They make hasty, poorly-considered decisions and need to have better judgment.

They’re being bullied at school – or they’re the one doing the bullying. They don’t get enough exercise or need to lose weight.

They have low self-esteem and seem to be down all the time. They give up when things get difficult and fail to meet their goals.

Raising a teenager requires persistence & patience

Luckily there is a comprehensive solution…

It can test your sanity even at the best of times. Yet, you want the best for your teenager. You want them to have the tools they need to succeed now and later in life – and you’d like that to happen without having to pull out all your hair in the process. Getting them to do anything you want them to do can feel utterly impossible, and you’re not sure where to start.

Studying martial arts helps kids learn how to overcome their problems and learn important lessons – the kind of lessons that will follow them to your home, to the classroom, and for the rest of their lives.

your teen will grow with every class!

Teenagers who study martial arts learn the benefits of self-control and discipline with every lesson. Our classes emphasize core values like discipline, respect, and persistence. Students learn that the way they treat others – in and out of the dojo – reflects on them as people and affects their ability to achieve their goals.

Respect Themselves & Others

Teens sometimes seem to be all attitude and no respect – in fact, it can seem like they go out of the way to disrespect all authority figures.

In our martial arts school, respect is a core discipline. Students must treat their instructor and fellow students with respect at all times.

Judgment is an Essential Skill in Martial Arts

Whether they’re in a martial arts class or in a competition, the difference between a good performance and a poor one often comes down to judgment.

Students learn how to make judgments on the fly using the information they have on hand in conjunction with their training.

They also learn how to differentiate between good instincts and bad ones – and to use that information to make judgments.

Get Your Kids Off the Couch and into Martial Arts

It might seem like your teenager would happily spend all day sitting on the couch playing video games or posting on social media.

The electronics epidemic might be a good thing in many ways, but teenagers still need physical activity to stay fit and healthy.

Martial arts classes provide teens with challenging workouts in a fun, social setting that rivals any video game.

How to Set (and Achieve) Goals

Teens sometimes seem not to care about setting goals either in the short-term or the long-term.

The study of martial arts requires them to pursue goals on a regular basis. Each skill they learn, and each belt they earn, represents a goal that they have achieved.

Goal-setting in this way provides teens with the tools they need to set achievable goals in school, at home, and in life.

I have my 7yr old grandaughter in 5 Dragon's for a trial period. This Studio is definitely two thumbs up. The Instructor is very focused on his kids for the time he gets them to the very end of class. His son is also there helping very immersive young man he is.
